How to change channel width on xr500 in china?

Signal strength isn't that good, can't even acess the 2.4ghz channel in the bathroom(right next door). I am currently using channel 1 and 161. Is there any way of making the signal better, my netgear router is also placed in a open area. People around me don't use channel 1 or 161. Please help.

You could disable 20/40MHz coexistence in Settings > Advanced WiFi Settings which would force it to just use 40MHz. More likely there are devices surrounding the router operating wireless that are interfering could be a phone, wireless headset etc, even a microwave so move anything like that away from the router at least 3 feet
